The Radif Ensemble are a group of Iranian and British musicians that perform Persian traditional music. The music they perform seems to have some improvisation in it, but for the most part I'm guessing they use radifs (collection of melodies preserved orally throughout generations) to base their performances off of. I think their instrumentation is very unique, and it is because of that that form a sound I find fascinating.
